Hello,

I am an Indian guy (25.5 years)with close to 3.5 years experience till date. I have experience in the marketing field and also running my own successful venture for a couple of years. Excellent acads till date, low extra curriculars. GMAT - 640 mostly due to a bad verbal day (31), but got a 8.5 on ielts. I would love to work in Europe for 2-3 of years after graduation and then move back to entrepreneurship...maybe kickstart a new venture.

I am confused between the following:

1. Should I go for Masters or MBA- I have an interview shortlist for the Grand Ecoles ALL schools and am applying for MBA as well at some.2. Already accepted for the WHU program, however, it being last minute I was unable to get the visa processed for their Apr 2012 start date3. Already applied to EMLYON and HHL Leipzig. The target schools I have in mind are Mannheim, ESMT, RSM Erasmus 4. I am looking for good networking and decent scholarships if available, at the schools I will apply5. Is it worth applying to the UK schools, with the visa restrictions effective from Apr 2012.

Considering my profile and career goals, which school might be ideal for me?

Salil,Let me take a stab at your questions:1. A Masters is usually for people straight out of a BA, and since you have worked for some years, it seems an MBA is more what you need.2. Thant stinks! 3. Good. All of them are excellent programs for your goals4. This will depend on the strength of your application, mostly. IF you are reapplying next year consider retaking the GMAT5. Hard to say. I'm no visa expert, but from what I have seen "on the ground" nobody is refusing Visas to people who work for huge companies. But who knows? Speak to people in England...

Other than that you might consider Oxford and HEC (But GMAT is a bit low)Best of luck!
